Anubis the Jackal

Ah, come now. I'm sure you could whip something up quickly for a second sitting.

As reported by KatCav here , Klaus Dinger from Neu!'s motorik pulse has stopped beating. Some good youtube action (although he's on guitar) weirdly glam, and punk well before the Sex Pistols.

He had an operation on his hole 100 years ago?

Eh?

Any of those teams not regular posters here?

Clive Dunn, He's immortal.... Not really, Chapman Pincher, because he's got a funny name.

Tommy Hall, the lyricist and 'spiritual leader' of the band was a couple of years older than the others and a highly educated and charismatic chap . He saw LSD as a means of evolving, learning, creating and teaching. Sadly it all went very tits up thanks to businessmen, rednecks, chemical psychosis and the Texas Police Force. How did he get that done? That's all I'm going to say.

Sounds great, when's the CD out?

The book is amazing, really well written and with most of the living protagonists suprisingly lucid in interviews, despite the ravages of LSD. Without a doubt worth the tenner on Amazon, and I'll definitely be buying the CD box set, The only copies of the Elevators albums I have sound like dog-toffee, due to the slip-shod re-issues authorised by Kenny Rogers brother.

You don't think you're being a little harsh on the lass?

Eye Mind, The story of Roky Erickson and the 13th Floor Elevators. How, by the simple tactic of getting the whole band to take acid every time they played, in fact, almost every day, you could go from trail-blazing, psychedelic hit-makers to living in a cave, incarceration, and 25 years of institutionalisation in various psychiatric hospitals. Heart-breaking.

Let's have a bit of Jacques, eh?

Why thank you very much, Lardy. I don't think Joey Deacon had a too much of a clue who he was, either. By the way, Joeys magnum opus, Tongue-Tied is available for the bargain price of 127 nicker on Amazon.

Feed the birds £150 a ball-bag.

You're a drummer aren't you?

Nope, don't get it I'm afraid.

Thread restored and locked because it makes me laugh

Charles de Gaulle once said that “Belgium is a country invented by the British to annoy the French.” Seems a good enough reason for a country for me.

You sure. Not Italian then?

Beautiful metaphor, Sir. I hadn't thought about Herr Immelmann's famous urn since my days of reading Victor, the comic for Boys. Well, xenophobic, maladjusted war-obsessed boys anyways. Here it is in all its glory...

Well, just for you, here's a shocking XXX picture of Sooty in the nude...

The Aussies, however, are far less recitent... And, in part, the innuendo arose from the fact that he lived in Sri Lanka, which the scandal hunters insinuated was a pedophile's paradise and where rumours, though never proof, abounded. Clarke always claimed he had moved there for the scuba diving, a sport he loved.

Alas, I will never now be able to savour his cod-on-a-rod.

Before anyone moans about this already being reported, this is in the right thread, and with a splendidly apt Spinal Tap reference to boot.

But not quite the proverbial arm and a leg.
